Question
State factors on which the amount of heat radiated by a body depends.

Solution
The amount of heat radiated by a body depends on:
- The absolute temperature of the body (T)
- The nature of the body – the material, nature of the surface - polished or not, etc.
- The surface area of the body (A)
- Time duration for which body emits radiation (t).
